From thrilling water sports to scuba diving, camping, backpacking trips, an increasing number of customers in the age group of 16-40 years have been spending heavily on gaining new experiences in the summers over the last few years.

Metros such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Chennai are amongst the cities opting for most summer activities such as amusement parks and adventure across formats and age groups while cities such as Kochi, Pune, Jaipur, Lonavala lead the charge for treks and camping, cycling, heritage walks, monuments and unique experiences.
